Quotes by A. Scott Berg (?)

“Max said little. His essential quality was always to say little, but by powerful empathy for writers and for books to draw out of them what they had it in them to say and to write.”
― A. Scott Berg, Max Perkins: Editor of Genius

7 likes

“Another Brownell adage that Perkins subscribed to was that the worst reason for publishing anything was that it resembled something else, that however unconscious, "an imitation is always inferior.”
― A. Scott Berg, Max Perkins: Editor of Genius

“Max sent Scottie some literary advice, the same dictum he gave every college student who called on him. He stressed the importance of a liberal arts education but urged her to avoid all courses in writing. "Everyone has to find her own way of writing," he wrote Scottie, "and the source of finding it is largely out of literature.”
― A. Scott Berg, Max Perkins: Editor of Genius
